“Touchdown” poster now available!

UPDATE: I’ve also included a pricepoint where you also receive a character sketch along with your poster. If you’ve already purchased a poster and want to upgrade, let me know (wiigii at gmail) and we’ll get it figured out.

Newwwww product!

My wife and I don’t get to vacation a lot. Sure, I’m on the road all the time for conventions, but usually by myself and to always to make a living, since this webcomic is my job. So I figgered, you know what, I will make an awesome poster and put the proceeds into the Willis Vacation Fund. Best case scenario, we’d raise enough quick enough to put in for a room for the second JoCo Cruise Crazy, which Joel Watson of Hijinks Ensue would reaaally like because he and his wife are going and he needs me around to help introduce him to famous people like Wil Wheaton, but rooms are dwindling, time is short, and, really, Maggie and I just need to get out there anywhere this coming spring. If we don’t JoCo, that’s regrettable, but the Getting Away is what’s really important. Actually I have just been alerted by Joel that if I don’t go to JoCo with him, I will be murdered. All right. Well, folks, that’s on you, apparently.

And so we have this awesome artwork of the denizens of Dumbing of Age cheering at one of their university’s football games! Most of everyone’s favorites are there, plus a few I wanted to make sure appeared in a poster who hadn’t yet managed, like Danny, Amber, Mike, and Ethan. (I’m not sure who my favorite character in this particular artwork is, since I have to choose between Mike’s interesting spirit-wear choice, Walky’s toplessness, and Dina’s giant foam pointer.) You can see progressshots of the artwork on my Tumblr, and the original suggestion for the theme was offered here by crazymusician320.

A zoom-in of the artwork

You can get the poster mailed to you for the fund-raising price of $20, which includes shipping within the United States, or for half that you can choose to be mailed a URL where you can download the art at desktop wallpaper size. (I’m thinking 1280px across, but if I’m wrong in that estimation, let me know. Easiest thing to accommodate.) These are signed and numbered 1 through 100! The poster will be mailed after Christmas.

Thank you for your consideration! If you want to contribute to our vacation fund, that is great. And if you don’t want to or you can’t, that is also great. I’m just happy you’re on my site reading my stuff.

(Oh, and since when I asked for poster ideas, folks kept on suggesting “beach” or “swimsuits,” I should probably mention the “Monroe Lake” poster which has been around for a while.)

(Oh oh oh, and apparently I can’t shut off postage fees for the wallpaper option, so if you’re from outside the United States, I’ll have to manually refund you that $3. Grargh.)

I think Mike should really have been wearing a Kentucky shirt in light of that amazing basket ball game this weekend. Though, I can appreciate that this was probably finished before we beat UK at the buzzer.

Except that IU and Purdue are Looooooong standing arch rivals. Central Indiana college sports fandom has been pretty evenly split right down the middle for years, at least until a couple years ago, when Butler actually started being a contender.
God help me, I’m not even a sports fan and I can’t avoid knowing about it…

eBay gets its money from folks who set up auctions, not folks who spend money on auctions. What Roshan spends the gift card on is irrelevant to them. In fact, Roshan inspiring me to start an auction for the express purpose of using her gift card on it PLAYS DIRECTLY INTO THEIR HANDS. It is the eBay’s BEST POSSIBLE RESULT of someone having an eBay gift card.

Your source artwork must be huge. Maybe if I can do two of them, that would be cool. Actually, even if I can get a huge image and re-size/crop it myself in PhotoShop. As you can imagine, it’s just impossible to get pictures for this setup.

…so I just saw this, noticed Billie’s arm looked like it was around Dina, and the fangirl in me went crazy. I don’t think I’ve actually had a really big ship in DoA before…but for some reason, my brain finds this a hundred percent adorable. 😐

Hmmm…. I’d be much more offended by this poster IF I wasn’t such a big fan of B.K. – and also went to I.U.N. for 3 semesters before doing another 8 wearing black and gold.

The IU/PU rivalry has always been a good one. After living in the South for a while, you’d be amazed at the number of people who can’t get passed it. You’d be even more amazed at the number of people with less than 16 total teeth will bring guns to football games to look for opposing colors in the parking lot, despite their never having finished 6th grade.

These people can’t even conceptualize a campus like IUPUI or Ft. Wayne, that share facilities, don’t over-duplicate degree programs, and make great graduate school alternatives because of the different emphases.

I never made it to a Little 500, but then, I only went to one Grand Prix… and left early! I’ll have to give this poster some thought. Perhaps with a brown marker on the hair, I can make the Purdue guy be ME!
